hey - some people smoke, some drink - they spend lots of money on a myriad of hobbys where you get NO return for the financial enjoyment you invest in your hobby. At least with buying packs/boxes/cases you're able to get 50%, 75% - even MORE back (sometimes) on your investment. There are many hobbie that get people no monetary returns.

don't fret dude....while everyone automatically just zooms in looking for a Peterson/Quinn/Russell/Johnson monster hit - you have some sneaky good cards you pulled. You have some real good low numbered things from HOF players, not to mention a Reggie Bush Auto.

Maybe I open cases and boxes for different reasons than you guys all do (um..it's a fun hobby), but if you look beyond the fact you didn't score a mojo rookie auto, I think you'll see you got some beautiful looking memorabilia/parallel cards of HOFs, All-Star vets and even a few Rookies that will sell better than you think.

I agree with you as I still do collect HOFers autos and some HOFers GU. When I break I'm either looking for a big hit for my own collection OR a big hit to sell. It stings when you get pretty much neither.

The Baugh will probably be a keeper as well as the Walter Payton GU. The Bush auto was Mike Bush not Reggie. That was the one per 1/2 case hit. He may pan out eventually.

IF ANYONE WANTS ANYTHING SHOOT ME AN OFFER. MANY OF YOU HAVE DEALT WITH ME BEFORE SO YOU KNOW HOW I ROLL.

After looking at it, I don't think you're going to take that bad of a beating. You have some really strong vet cards here that should get you a decent portion back. I think you may only lose 200-300 on the whole thing.

It cost me in the Topps League last week (to busy remember to bring the goodies for everyone else's turkey dinner)...probably cost myself an chance at Topps grand prize since its the 2nd time I've done that in this league.

Upon "further review" I got a nice surprise this evening. During the game I was sorting through everything I was going to list and I found out that I made an error thats in my favor. The redem. for the Banner Season Sig Materials #8 turns out to be Peyton Manning and not Willis McGahee. I guess in my frustration I looked at card #8 in the base set and not in the Banner Season list. Stooopid !!!
